Maitridatta

Of all the virtues that a man is capable of possessing, heroism as an ecstasy of the will, as an impregnation of destiny that not all men are given or that is permissible for them, is the highest of all. It not only magnifies man but also makes him find encouragement even when everything seems lost. Heroism has won more battles at the last minute because everything was lost than strategy. Heroism is the will that is not satisfied with living, but wants to greet death and step before it in glory. Heroism is the will that rises when the air becomes unbreathable and the exhausted muscles continue to advance. Heroism is man's ability to face life and to face himself and improve himself. Heroism is going with the spirit of war before everything and everyone, stomping hard, letting everything around tremble. Heroism is participating in the ecstasy of the Gods, wanting, desiring and longing to be like a God!, heading mercilessly towards destiny no matter how tragic it may be and saying: yes, I fulfill the Will, I fulfill my doom.
